Up-and-coming pop phenom Justin Bieber came on the scene at the age of thirteen when he decided to post some home video performances of him covering several pop songs on YouTube from his home in Stratford, Ontario. It began as somewhat of a joke for his friends and soon after exploded into a YouTube celebrity. He covered songs from Usher, Neyo, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, among others and racked up over 10,000,000 views.Justin's immense following on YouTube caught the eye and ear of Scooter Braun, So So Def's marketing executive, which lead to a meeting with R&B star Usher in Atlanta. Not too long after, in October 2008 with Usher's approval from music mogul L.A. Reid, Justin Bieber officially signed with Island Records.
Justin Bieber is not only a tweenie-bopper dream, he is a self-taught musician who plays several musical instruments including drums, guitar, trumpet, and piano which adds to his repertoire and surprisingly nice voice. Don't think he writes much of his own material; however, he still has many years to develop his writing skills. Justin has worked with some of the games' best producers including The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced smash hits like Beyonce's "Single Ladies" and Rihanna's "Umbrella". Working with production teams of this type caliber is invaluable for young artist's who are spawning into global giants in the business.Check out Justing Beiber's newest single "One Less Lonely Girl" which has trickled into commercial radio worldwide.
When I heard homeboy on Z100 last week here in NYC I knew it was only a matter of time. Do us all a favor and go easy on him, he's still only 15 and doesn't like girls, so he claims. Unlike the Jonas Brothers, there was no mention of his virginity....Thank god!
